Chilling discovery by four-time Australian Olympic snowboarder Scotty James who came across this crevasse smack dab in the middle of a groomer at Saas-Fee in the Swiss Alps. Saas-Fee is located on a glacier so these type of obstacles occur time to time so I guess you gotta be heads up even if you’re on an active ski trail. Sketchy.
Scotty is good about responding to comments on TikTok, here’s a few:
